SANTO DOMINGO.- LA Tropical storm “Erin”, the fifth of the hurricane season in the Atlantic and the Gulf of Mexico 2025, will become a major hurricane and will pass to the northeast of Puerto Rico, according to the trajectory of the meteor.
Erin formed at 11:45 on Monday on the coasts of the Cabo Verde Archipelago, in Africa.
It does not represent a danger to the Dominican Republic, but the authorities urge the population to “stay attentive.”

The storm was located, at 6:00 on Monday, in the latitude 17.4 North and Length 30.3 degrees west, with a maximum sustained wind of 45 miles per hour (72 kilometers), according to data from the National Hurricane Center of the United States (CNH).
